Attila Sekerlioglu (born January 27, 1965 in Vienna ) is a former Austrian soccer player and current soccer coach . As the son of a Turk and an Austrian , he was one of the first Turkish-Austrian professional football players.

As a player from Austria Wien , he won the Austrian championship title and ÖFB Cup three times and was four times Supercup winner .

Player career

Sekerlioglu began his career in the youth of FS Elektra Wien before he was discovered in 1985 by the then reigning Austrian champion Austria Wien . From 1985 to 1987 it was only used in test matches for the professional team until it was awarded to the then Austrian second division club VSE St. Pölten during the championship in 1987/88 .

St. Pölten had previously hired Thomas Parits, a former Austrian master coach, who now completed his squad, which was already prominently made up of the old Argentine star Mario Kempes, with several FAK talents . Sekerlioglu proved to be a support in the central defense and qualified with the club as fourth of the regular season for the middle playoff, where they could celebrate the promotion to first class with third place.

For the championship in 1988/89 he was then brought back by coach August Starek to favorites, where he immediately became a regular player. After Starek was dismissed in November 1988, he lost this again under coach Erich Hof , due to a more offensive basic line-up, but had already established himself in the professional squad and came regularly as a substitute player until the end of the season. After the retirement of the club idol Erich Obermayer in the following season , he formed together with Josef Degeorgi , Anton Pfeffer and Ernst Aigner , ahead of goalie Franz Wohlfahrt, the defensive line of Austria, which allowed the second few goals against over the course of the season behind champions FC Swarovski Tirol .

His most successful phase in the club began under coach Herbert Prohaska , who took over Austria in March 1990. With a 3-1 win in extra time in the final of the ÖFB Cup 1990 against SK Rapid Wien after a 1-1 draw in regular time, he was able to celebrate his first title as a professional footballer. Serkerlioglu played through in the final in the unfamiliar position in defensive midfield.

In the 1990/91 season he won the ÖFB Supercup for the first time and won his first Austrian championship title . Defense veteran Degeorgi had previously switched to FC Admira Wacker and Prohaska tried different defensive formations. Only Toni Pfeffer was his constant constant, which he added with Aigner, Sekerlioglu, Robert Frind and Harald Schneider . Sekerlioglu was not without controversy, but thanks to its universal applicability on the defensive, he played in 19 out of 36 possible games in the starting line-up. Another system change for the 1991/92 season caused by the commitment of Manfred Kern meant the final breakthrough for Sekerlioglu under Prohaska. Together with Pfeffer, he formed Austria's male decker duo for the entire season and was an important part of Austria's strong defense, which provided the best defense in the league with 36 goals. The team was also able to prolong its successful streak and again won the Supercup and the Austrian double .

Master coach Prohaska then took over the Austrian national soccer team , and Hermann Stessl was signed as his successor . Under Stessl, Sekerlioglu lost his regular place to the newly signed Walter Kogler , whom he was only able to regain after an injury to Pfeffer in the second half of the season. Austria had made a veritable false start to the season without Sekerlioglu, but celebrated one of the most famous comeback races in the club's history in the second half of the season. With the starting position of having to win the last six games of the season in order to become champions, Austria succeeded in this, which allowed them to celebrate the third championship in a row. Sekerlioglu was used in eleven of thirteen second round games from the start.

In the 1993/94 season Josef Hickersberger took over as coach of Austria, who was able to take over an unchanged team except for the departure of striker Valdas Ivanauskas . Serkerlioglu lost his regular place after an injury and poor performance, which he could not fight back. Over the season he was used in just seven league games over the full season. Austria also played its last successful season in the 1990s, becoming runner-up, Supercup and Cup winners behind Casino Salzburg . Nevertheless, the club dismissed Hickersberger and installed the German Egon Coordes as the new head coach.

During the summer break, the traditional Turkish club Beşiktaş Istanbul , which was then trained by Christoph Daum , tried to sign Sekerlioglu and offered 2.1 million schillings for it. However, the sum was too little for Austria, whereupon the transfer ultimately failed after multiple negotiations. Under Coordes, Sekerlioglu was again a regular player and caused a dubious sensation with three yellow / red cards in three consecutive competitive games in autumn 1994. He missed a large part of the second half of the season due to injury and was replaced by the Croatian new signing Stojan Belajić , who, however, largely disappointed in his performance. The season is generally considered to be the beginning of the club's sporting decline. During the season there were various quarrels between the players and coach Coordes, which culminated in the dismissal of long-time top performer Franz Wohlfahrt as a regular goalkeeper. The team remained title-less and only occupied the disappointing fourth place in the table. Coordes was then dismissed and replaced by his compatriot Horst Hrubesch .

At the start of training in the new season, Sekerlioglu was then surprisingly informed that the new coach would no longer plan with him. As a result, a move to Belgium to the former European Cup finalist Royal Antwerp failed . In order to avoid being a guest in the grandstand, negotiations followed for a further loan to the then second division VSE St. Pölten , before he switched to FC Tirol Innsbruck within the league .

The financially troubled Innsbruckers, trained by coach Dietmar Constantini , were in the final of the 1995 UEFA Intertoto Cup after surprising victories against 1. FC Köln and Bayer 04 Leverkusen and had an urgent need for action on the defensive due to the failures of the two regular central defenders Michael Streiter and Robert Wazinger . Due to the surprising income of approx. Five million schillings from the UI Cup, financial leeway was gained again, which enabled Sekerlioglu to be committed for approx. 800,000 schillings. Although they lost the finals in the UI Cup after a 1-1 home game 6-1 away against Racing Strasbourg , Sekerlioglu established himself as a sovereign substitute for the long-term injured Michael Streiter. After a disappointing seventh intermediate place at the winter break, the club gave the majority of its players permission for transfer negotiations in order to raise much-needed money. In addition to Harald Cerny , who moved to Germany for TSV 1860 Munich , Sekerlioglu also took advantage of this circumstance and surprisingly switched to Scotland to the then second division FC St. Johnstone for around 850,000 Schillings . In Austria he was more a man for the rough , in Scotland he was given a much more offensive role in defensive midfield with playmaking tasks. Sekerlioglu immediately advanced to a permanent team support and played a large part in winning the title , which was 20 points ahead, and the associated rise to the top class of the club. The only downer of the season was the lost final in the Scottish League Challenge Cup 1996/97 , where they lost to the blatant outsider FC Stranraer . In the following season , the club was able to establish itself in the Scottish Premier Division and finished fifth in the table. Sekerlioglu, who was still a key player in the previous year, had a long absence due to a stubborn back injury during the season and in the end was unable to agree on a new contract with the club. Despite other Scottish interested parties such as FC Aberdeen , Sekerlioglu again decided to take a surprising step and moved back home to the then third division club SC Untersiebenbrunn .

As a veteran under coach Norbert Barisits, he held the role of defense chief at the Marchfeldern , which he underpinned with strong performances. In his debut season he was able to celebrate the championship title in the Regionalliga-Ost with the team . Despite a more defensive role again, he had preserved his newly discovered scoring threat from the Scottish era and contributed seven goals to the title. In the following promotion relegation games against SV Spittal , which the club just won 1: 1 and 0: 0, he was in action for 180 minutes and finally celebrated promotion. In the 1999/00 season he played for the first time with his younger brother, Cem Sekerlioglu , whom the club and Manfred Rosenegger from Austria Vienna had signed in a team. The club immediately established itself in the upper third of the league, the defense organized by Sekerlioglu was the second strongest with 32 goals conceded after that of master VfB Admira Wacker Mödling . With the 2000/01 season he completed his last professional season, in which he completed 25 league games and with three table positions could achieve the best placement in the history of the club.

After his professional career, apart from his coaching work, he was still active in the amateur field at irregular intervals. Here he played for FC Oslip , Police / Fire Brigade , RB Sievering , SC Perchtoldsdorf and SC Maccabi Vienna . Since 2017 he has also been playing irregularly as a player- coach for the UFK Schwemm-De La Salle .

Success as a player

Coaching career

He started his coaching career as assistant to Norbert Barisits at what was then SC Interwetten . After his release, in January 2002 he took over the interim position of head coach for the newly signed Helmut Kraft , who did not receive any early approval from SV Wörgl . Under his leadership, the club then made it to the round of 16 of the ÖFB Cup , where they were unlucky 2-1 after extra time against SV Ried . After the takeover by Kraft, he left the club and moved to the youth academy of Austria Vienna, where he looked after one of the two U-17 teams. In January 2003 he was released from the academy after he had previously consumed punch at a Christmas market with his team . The association justified the decision by stating that alcohol, especially among youngsters, would not be tolerated.

In October 2004 he took over the then Lower Austrian regional league club SC Himberg , but already switched to SV Horn within the league in December of the same year . After sixth place in the table in the final standings, he was committed to the 2005/06 season by SK Schwadorf , who as runner-up behind SC Zwettl had missed the clearly targeted promotion to the Regionalliga-Ost .

In Schwadorf, thanks to the sponsorship of Richard Trenkwalder, he was provided with a squad made up of ex-Bundesliga professionals such as Patrick Wunderbaldinger , Oliver Lederer , Christian Schandl or Thomas Zingler , with which he celebrated the championship title and promotion to the third division with a 17 point lead could. With the aim of the immediate march into professional football, the budget was again significantly increased for the 2006/07 season and the squad with other top-class players, such as the Austrian ex-national players Roman Mählich , Thomas Mandl , Volkan Kahraman and Michael Wagner, or even the Slovak and Yugoslav ex-internationals Martin Fabuš and Nenad Grozdić strengthened. The brisk transfer activity meant a total upheaval for the team, which started the season slowly and only wintered in 4th place in the table. At this point, Serkerlioglu was already under intense internal criticism and was considered a permanent candidate for dismissal, but still got a chance for probation in the second half of the season. In this the club started with four superior victories, before Sekerlioglu was able to finally consolidate its status for Vienna with a 1-0 victory against the PSV team, which was classified as the strongest competitor . With no defeat and only two draws in the second half of the season, they celebrated the clear championship title in the Regionalliga Ost. For the following season , the club again set the ambitious goal of immediate promotion and title win in the second-rate first division and strengthened the team again with established players such as Bojan Filipović , Marek Kincl , Jozef Valachovič , Anton Ehmann and Marcus Pürk or the then talented Martin Pusic . After two games without a win at the start of the season, Sekerlioglu was released as a coach and replaced by the former Austrian World Cup participant Bernd Krauss .

Until the winter break he worked as head scout for the club before he took over the traditional club FC Admira Wacker Mödling, which was relegated to the third division for the first time, as coach. Schwadorf President Trenkwalder had previously started his involvement with the heavily indebted club and, in addition to Sekerlioglu as coach, transferred eight other Schwadorf players to the Südstadt . When the prominent team with Markus Scharrer , Alexander Jank or Rolf Martin Landerl ran the risk of drifting into the relegation battle after only one win and four defeats in the second half, Sekerlioglu was dismissed without notice.

In February 2009 he moved to the Ghana Premier League for FC Tema Youth , which he left again in July of the same year after a new contract could not be agreed. Another Ghana interlude followed in 2010 when he took over another first division club in Berekum Chelsea . After an internal player revolt due to his tough training methods, he resigned as coach of the team after two league games.

For the 2010/11 season he moved back to the Lower Austrian regional league for SV Stockerau , with whom he narrowly escaped relegation as the table penultimate at the end of the season.

He then worked in the Viennese lower house at SC Maccabi Vienna (as a player- coach ) and LA Riverside before he took over the ASK Kaletenleutenken in the summer of 2014 . He led the club straight away to the championship title in the Lower Austrian 1st class East and managed to stay in the regional league in the regional league Süd / Südost in the following season. In June 2017 he took over a women's Bundesliga team for the first time with USC Landhaus Wien , which he left again in October. He then moved back to the Wiener Unterhaus, where he trains the UFK Schwemm De La Salle .

Success as a trainer

National team

Attila Sekerlioglu was nominated three times in the course of his career for the Austrian national team , but never made an international appearance. After his active career, he played for Austria as a beach soccer player at the Euro Beach Soccer Cup .

Scouting

Between 2005 and 2007 and between 2009 and 2010 he was active as a player scout for FC Bayern Munich . In addition, after his release as a coach at FC Admira Wacker Mödling, he continued to work for the club as chief scout.

Others

With his move to St. Johnstone he became the first Austrian legionnaire in Scotland, since the commitment of Karl Pekarna at the Glasgow Rangers in 1905. His transfer presented simultaneously the initial impetus for the Austrian press as Highlander boom called phase represents in the course of which from January 1997 to December 1998 a total of eleven players, mainly mediated by the controversial advisor Edi Brunner , moved from Austria to Scotland. Except for Sekerlioglu and Thomas Flögel , none of them stayed under contract with a Scottish club for more than six months.

Sekerlioglu, who was outfitted by the Austrian sporting goods manufacturer Basry Sports during his time in Scotland , caused a public discussion in November 1996 when he played in yellow football boots in the final of the Scottish League Challenge Cup against FC Stranraer . Although the Italian Paolo Di Canio was already playing for Celtic Glasgow in white shoes at that time , the rest of the league still traditionally wore black shoes. Yellow shoes were seen as breaking a taboo, which was picked up by the Scottish media at the time.

He is an official member of the Legendenklub of FK Austria Wien, which was launched in 2012 . Any (no longer active) Austria-Wien player who has won at least three titles (championship or cup) with Austria, has actually played in a title season and has played at least 100 competitive games for Austria becomes a member.

His younger brother Cem was also a professional soccer player and, among other things, also active for SC Untersiebenbrunn . Since 2005 he has been working as a youth trainer for Austria Wien . His son Attila Fürst is an amateur player and played for FAC Team for Vienna and FavAC , among others . He was trained by his father at SK Schwadorf , SV Stockerau and ASK Kaltenleutgabe .
